orders_create

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden, but it only discloses that the tool is gated behind a higher plan. It does not reveal what happens when invoked, whether it performs a write operation, or what response to expect.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single short sentence with no wasted words. However, it is concise at the expense of content—it provides only a gate message rather than functional information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Even with no parameters and no output schema, the description leaves the tool's core purpose completely unspecified. An agent cannot determine what orders_create does, when to invoke it, or what effect it will have, making this description inadequate.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has zero parameters, so a baseline of 4 applies. The description adds no parameter details, but there are no parameters to document.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description does not state what the tool does; it only says an upgrade is required and points to license_status. The tool name implies order creation, but the description never confirms this and focuses entirely on licensing.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The only guidance is to use license_status to view upgrade options, which is a prerequisite hint but not actual usage guidance for the tool itself. There is no explanation of when to use orders_create versus sibling tools like orders_list or orders_fulfill.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
